FC Bayern have signed Germany international Nathaniel Brown, 23, from Eintracht Frankfurt on a contract until 30 June 2031.
Jan-Christian Dreesen, FC Bayern CEO: “Nathaniel Brown has a profile that is very much in demand in modern football. He’s developed really well recently with his speed and dynamism, and we all believe that he’s an excellent fit for FC Bayern. We want to take the next step together, and this transfer also underlines our aspiration to bring top young German players to FC Bayern early. That’s always been a part of our DNA and should remain the case in the future.”
Max Eberl, FC Bayern board member for sport: “We’re delighted to have brought a player to FC Bayern in Nathaniel Brown who’s enjoyed such a rapid development but still has so much potential and is one for the future. He made his mark at the World Cup and showed why we’ve been looking at him for a while. He’ll expand our options in both defence and midfield.”
Christoph Freund, FC Bayern sporting director: “Nathaniel Brown can be used in different positions and has so much speed out wide. He’s already developed into a top player at the age of 23 and will continue to improve. We’re excited about Nathaniel, who will continue to grow here at FC Bayern.”
Nathaniel Brown: “FC Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world. It means so much to me to have the chance to play for this club and it fills me with pride. I also come from Bavaria, which makes it even more special. I’ve always dreamed of playing for the biggest titles at the highest level; I set myself the highest goals and want to get the maximum out of me every day. I quickly had a great feeling in talks with the management. Vincent Kompany in particular showed me how he sees me and my development and absolutely convinced me.”
Born in Amberg, Bavaria, Brown joined Nürnberg from Jahn Regensburg, signing his first professional contract in 2022. He has been a part of the Eintracht Frankfurt first team since 2024/25, making 75 competitive appearances for the club (seven goals, 13 assists). The 23-year-old played 14 times for Germany at U21 level and now has eight caps for the senior side, scoring his first international goal in the 7-1 win over Curaçao in the opening game at the World Cup.
